Continuing (belatedly) with the secret-agent theme, here's Spy Bop Royale, a cool little website dedicated to clandestine soundtrack fun.

Paranoid Autobahn

Here are 2 lovely video clips, courtesy of the Cartoonist. First, foppish Teutonic Sonny and Cher wannabes, Cindy und Bert, regale us with a tune called Der Hund Von Baskerville, a song with lyrics apparently based on the Sherlock Holmes novel, but which for some unfathomable reason, are set to the tune of Black Sabbath's Paranoid. The camera keeps panning away from their faces to show Cindy's yawning dog, who speaks for all of us, I think.

The 2nd clip is a fab animation of Krafterk's electronica classic, Autobahn. Very Peter Max-ish with the giant lips, doncha think?

I played both clips simultaneously, whereupon I immediately entered into a deep trance. Soon, Thomas Gottschalk appeared to me in the form of a gigantic robot Pekinese, lifted his leg, and urinated on my head. I am now enlightened...and wet.

P.S. Actually, I totally spaced out the fact that ronebofh sent me that Cindy und Bert clip weeks ago. I blame the Anti-Gottschalk.
